Such Luck – Skating Curbs & Eating Tacos

Weather:
“Ain’t nobody ever drowned in sweat.”
I guess we’ll be testing that.

Short post this week cause I’ve been layed low by the sinus sickness. It got so bad in my delerium I visited a dentist and asked to jam the suction tube up my nose to drain it proper.

There’s a new puzzle up so look at it when you can. When I was a youngster the Fourth of July was the only time I was allowed to smoke cigars. Well I wasn’t allowed but Piazza’s Dad let us smoke them so we could light off firecrackers without a lighter.

Last week I got some work done on my arm. More work soon.

We went to Blues Fest because Allison had out of town visitors and when you have out of town visitors you have to cater to some odd whims. This was the highlight for me.

With all the Photoshop and graphical mastery and rendering and megacomputers, I’m glad there’s still some of the old design’s in use.

Sessioned and dorked around with vacationing Mark, Tasha had a wonderul graduation celebration and I got some superawesome mail. Besides the sickness it’s been a pretty outstanding week.

Off to blow my nose.

Weather:
Summer sun and the smell of outside.There’s a new picture in the draw section so take a look. I’ll wait.

My picture that I made for Said and Done is up. It’s been fun to see what people come up with. I’m honored to be a part of such a talented group of folks. The sky on my picture is made of strips from old CTA fare cards. I bet that makes it worth some money, or a free transfer.

Amy McIntyre sent me pictures of stuff she’s been working on. She’s a swell for certain. I think this is my favorite.

Last week I went to the Uprise premier at the Gene Siskel Thumbs Up theater. It’s been awhile since I’ve been down by State Street. They’ve really done quite a job of revitalizing it into a teengirl mall. I was supposed to meet up with some of the Sunday morning old men for pre-movie beers but I didn’t write down the address. I thought I knew where the bar was but the bar I was thinking about has been torn down. I think thier gonna build a BananaGap there.

So I past the time watching this disaster unfold.

The old spot. Still fun.

The video was filled with all the spots I walk by and think, “If I could megaflip stuff, I’d megaflip the hell outta that.”

This week was Allison’s birthday celebration and she got sick and then she got me sick, so now we’re all sick. We went out for a special feast before the sickness knocked us out.
